MONTGOMERY, AL -
The
Montgomery Regional Airport (Dannelly Field) will conduct a ‘live'
emergency preparedness exercise Tuesday, October 22, from approximately
8:00 – 11:00 A.M.
Airport first-responders as well as emergency
response teams from various federal, state and local agencies will
practice emergency procedures by responding to a simulated aircraft
accident at the airport.
The goal of the exercise is to improve
the coordination and efficiency of responding units by simulating
conditions they would encounter in the event of an actual aircraft
emergency.
"AIRPORT DISASTER EXERCISE" signs have been positioned
along Hwy 80 near the airport's main entrance and inside the terminal
building itself to notify passengers, patrons and the general public
that a disaster exercise is in progress.
Hwy 80 will remain
open at all times, but people driving near the airport the morning of
Oct 22 should expect to encounter numerous emergency vehicles transiting
the airport during the exercise period and drive accordingly.
